Adios Heredia!

¡Hola de Costa Rica! We have spent two weeks now in Heredia, Costa Rica, and have learned a lot about the culture of Costa Rica. Today we are packing our bags and heading to Sámara, Costa Rica, where we will be enjoying 93 degree weather each day and hopefully getting some sun. Sámara is a little different than Heredia in the aspect of size and economic status. Although we have not experienced it for ourselves yet, we have heard and been prepared about crabs in showers, bugs everywhere, and hot, hot days. But, we are ready for the challenge! It will be exciting to see the different sides of Costa Rica and learn even more about the wonderful and rich culture here.

The time is flying here, as we are already 2/3 done with the trip. We have seen volcanoes, waterfalls, wonderful and unique fruits, and we still have yet to see hot springs, go zip lining, and snorkel in the ocean. I can say from this entire experience that we are all learning a lot from this opportunity to travel and study in a different country, and that we will all carry the things we are learning with us for the rest of our lives. It is truly a blessing to learn about other cultures and definitely makes us all appreciate not only the Costa Rican culture, but our own culture as well. We are all looking forward to coming back to the United States with amazing stories to share and experience we will hold dear to us for a lifetime. ¡Chau!
